Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure
efficiency, top performance and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special considerations.
Defrosting
Frost-Free Models
Frost-free models do not produce frost in normal
operating conditions.
WARNING
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.
Condenser Cleaning
Interval - Every Three Months
To maintain operational efficiency, keep the front grille
free of dust and lint and clean the condenser every three
months. Depending on environmental conditions, more
or less frequent cleaning may be necessary.
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the unit before
cleaning the condenser.
To remove and replace the grille for access to the
condenser fins, follow this procedure:
Figure 9
1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit.
2. Loosen two screws (Figure 9, 1) completely.
NOTE: Screws are held in the grille by o-ring retainers,
and will not come free of the grille.
3. Remove the grille.
WARNING
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser
fins are SHARP and can be easily damaged.
CAUTION
DO NOT use any type of cleaner on the condenser
unit.
4. Clean the condenser coil (Figure 9, 2) using a soft
brush with a “combing” action or vacuum cleaner. Do
not touch the condenser coil.
